Given that the mozilla corporation released FireFox 1.5 today I thought I would ask freepers:
What is your favorite firefox entension and how does it help your experience on FreeRepublic or elsewhere on the internet.

Makes surfing pleasant again.
Such an unfortunate movie title ;)
If I can only choose one... definitely Adblock!
Another for adblock, with flashblock running a close second.
I would have to say image zoom would be my favorite many times wanting to read a sign in the background of an image posted here (or read a scanned news article) and its a quick right click to do it..
I use one that backs up my bookmarks each day. I forget what it's called but after Firefox mysteriously disappeared my bookmarks not once but twice - POOF! GONE! - I don't leave home without it.
FasterFox
Adblock. 'Nuff said.
Ad Block and ForecastFox.
While I have never seen that happen to my bookmarks (the exception being if you accidently created a new profile) here is the extension youre talking about
http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/bookmarkbackup
BookmarkBackup
No.. it wasn't the new profile thing. They were simply gone and an empty, default file was in it's place. I searched my entire system both times to see if it somehow got moved but it was simply gone.
After reading on the various FF forums, I found that this has happened to others though no one has been able to nail down the cause.
Very aggravating though.. I love my precious bookmarks :)
DUH!!
Bugmenot. (Yes, as an extension.)
Adblock, Forcast Fox, Bugmenot, Tabbrowser preferences, Switchproxy, Securepassword generator, Bible toobar, fireFTP
Paste and go. Saves me a mouseclick.
Since the purpose of using Firefox is to increase security, I don't use any plugins with it. If I want bells and whistles, I'll use another browser.
Tab Mix Plus, but I already told you about that one. The 0.3 beta versions are excellent, even for betas.
Adblock Plus (with the Filterset.G definitions), Sage, Download Manager Tweak, FasterFox, and NoScript are all great as well.
There's a difference between a plugin and an extension. Flash is a plugin, Adblock is an extension.
